Social Studies Reflection
Name Rachael Axmann
Which chapter in World History did you enjoy most this year and why?

In world history, I enjoyed chapter 4 for many reasons. One of these reasons is the project we did. Carson, Emily, Carly, and I did a video on the whole lesson. I liked how we all worked together to create a great video for our classmates to watch. Another reason I liked this chapter is the content that is inside. The geography and the religion were very interesting for me.
Describe some of the things that you learned in that chapter. Is there a project that you completed that you enjoyed working on?

I learned quite a few things from this chapter. I learned about Chinese religions and how they were celebrated, and that China has a very pretty and fertile land. Some more things that I learned in this chapter are that China had a “Golden Age” in the second part of the Zhou dynasty and that the Chinese language is made of pictographs. In this chapter, we worked on a video project that Carson, Carly, Emily, and I completed that we enjoyed creating and presenting.

What new skills have you learned throughout the year?

Throughout the year, I have learned many skills in Social Studies this year. One of these skills is to study more for tests, quizzes, and projects so that I don’t make many mistakes when completing/presenting them. Another skill is to pace myself when writing or copying down the notes. If I didn’t learn this skill, then I would still be getting cramps whenever I copy down a lot of note

How can you apply this knowledge to the real world?

I can apply this knowledge to the real world by using it someday when I can help Chinese immigrants connect to their past by going to the library and reading books of their history. I can use this knowledge next year in middle school in History class to help enhance a project or essay question (Of course, I would only do that if it was about ancient China).
